Line 154:
* ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'' pretty much abuses this trope and it's one of the main reasons that makes it [[Better on DVD]].
* At the end of the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode "Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind", a character is seen in a classroom opening up a book {{spoiler|which is supposed to be about assassination techniques}}. The page is shown just long enough for the audience to parse a more on-topic chapter heading, but most of the other text consists of the lyrics to [[The Beatles (band)|"Happiness Is A Warm Gun"]].
* In the season 1 ''[[Glee]]'' episode Hairography, Quinn Fabray and [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It|Noah "Puck" Puckerman]] get into a fight over the fact that Puck was [[Ripped from the Headlines|sexting]] Santana Lopez during a babysitting gig with Quinn. The [https://web.archive.org/web/20120723002130/http://videogum.com/img/thumbnails/photos/glee_1_12/8.jpg freeze-frame] of Quinn searching his phone for evidence reveals that Puck might be the worse sexter ever; one sent message features the creative and eloquent line, "You so hot and stuff and stuff."
* In an episode of ''[[Trailer Park Boys]]'', a character reads a written note aloud as the camera focuses on it. After he is done, the camera pans down slightly for a split second to reveal [[Unreadably Fast Text|extra text]], which says "If you're freeze-framing this on DVD, you're fucked!"
* In a 2010 episode of ''The Vampire Dairies'' Stefan is calling Isabel and on his phone you see a number, a real number, 919-399-2507. For at least a year after if you called it you got audio of Katherine, Stefan, and Damon talking about Klaus and who to trust.
Line 233:
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'': In the intro, the fast camera pan from a Springfield street to the Simpsons' garage looks like a blur at regular speed, but if you slow it down, you can see that it's actually a legitimate (albeit warped) pan across [http://kidicarus222.blogspot.com/2008/02/simpsons-intro-what-you-dont-see.html a HECK of a lot of characters].
** The new Simpsons intro includes a billboard during the camera pan of Springfield. It changes every episode, but is usually impossible to read without freeze-frame.
** If you think that's impressive, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130208140620/http://www.snpp.com/episodes.html read the capsules] and look for Freeze Frame Fun. For example, in 7F02, Homer initially marks his sex as female on the insurance form before changing it. (Yes, I'm one of them.)
** In "Bart Star", in the scene where [[King of the Hill|the Hills]] make a cameo, Bill, Dale, and Boomhauer can be seen in the background.
** An in-universe example when the cartoon "Danger Dog" is shown to the school, the creator freezes the frame showing that the chunks of barf are pictures of the animators' and their friends' heads.
